I’ve been dropping links to resources I’ve found useful in a few threads based upon topic. Different people absorb information in different ways though and different people have different levels of pre existing knowledge.
Khan Academy has lots of courses designed exactly to help by providing a more structured pathway. They generally cover what you’d consider as school level, everything you can choose to learn up to around 18 years old, so you can get quite a long way in understanding the topics.

Khan Academy Biology Pathways
High School Biology (structured high/secondary school level courses including quizzes and progress tracking, start here or pick just the units you are interested in, similar to GCSE level, very accessible)
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/hs-bio
Some specific sections likely of interest include
From Cells to Organisms
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/hs-bio/x230b3ff252126bb6:from-cells-to-organisms
Gene Expression and Regulation
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/hs-bio/x230b3ff252126bb6:gene-expression-and-regulation
AP/College Biology (structured AP/college/6th form level courses, similar to A Level, good if you have a basic understanding already or want to explore these topics in more detail, still accessible)
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology
Some specific sections likely of interest include
Cell Structure and Function
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/cell-structure-and-function
Gene Expression and Regulation
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/gene-expression-and-regulation
Health and Medicine (various sections on the human body to explore, just videos and information, no courses or quiz structure, targeted at the general public)
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/health-and-medicine
Some specific sections likely of interest include
Immunologic system introduction
https://www.khanacademy.org/science...-phagocytes-in-innate-or-nonspecific-immunity
Nervous system interaction
https://www.khanacademy.org/science...ous-system-introduction/v/anatomy-of-a-neuron
Biology Archive (just videos and information, useful to just pick a topic and explore, includes lots of videos used in both of the above courses, no courses or quizzes)
